Load both and no conflict? We can dispense with packages now?

Yep. Just one hitch: We can't call each other's code any more. :)

Of course you can.

Why do you feel the need to take pot shots at my work before you've even
bothered to look at it?

It wasn't a pot shot. It was just a joke.

The two are not mutually exclusive. And in the context of Kaz's
less-than-encouraging remarks it sure felt like you were piling on.
But...

That's why I put the smiley.

I apologize if I misinterpreted your intentions.

Since it didn't occur to me that anyone would take me seriously
that you would build a tool with so obvious and fundamental a flaw

Kaz seems to take that possibility quite seriously.

I _do_ have some questions about whether your tool's so-called
semi-hygienic nature will turn out to be something useful.

That is an open question. But it was the one issue that kept me from
releasing Lexicons before now (and I've been working on them for a long,
long time) because I knew that without something like this Lexicons were
fatally flawed. Whether this really fixes the problem remains to be
seen, but at least it's there's no reason that I'm aware of now for it
to be DOA.
